Drying them and adding them to my chicken run is a great idea! I already dry lavender and mint for the coop. Awesome idea for the marigolds! I would like to learn how to harvest and store the seeds for next year! Thanks
I harvested my seeds from a few favorite colors ( I love the really dark colors). I waited until they began to wilt and turned dry to collect the seeds.
Hi Luli, thanks for the video. I notice your skin looks wrinkle free and beautiful. I am curious what kind of skin routine you apply if you don't mind me asking.
Foe years I have tried growing calendula but am not very successful here in our very hot climates ...this I have grown in the past never realizing how beneficial they were other than plante in a garden setting...thank you for the encouragement in this very useful plant,stay blessed!
Last spring I grew some marigolds from seed, and they were the best looking marigolds bushes that I ever had. Problem is that I don’t remember which once that I actually sown, since I had few different packages. I’ve collected seeds and will see if they’ll germinate.
@@lulishomestead6767 I’ve started a journal in January 2020 and it will be helpful to reference it in the new sowing season. Problem is that I need to learn the discipline to actually writing everything in it, and not rely that I’ll remember. As expected, a year later I remember basics but not the details... 😏
@@Учусьвыращивать I started a journal too! My son is all in favor of it because I'll pass on tips. I'm trying to write things like needs a lot of nitrogen (etc), cross-plant w whatever, all the tips even on how to cook or use. ;)
What else can marigold oil be used for as I have a few!!! I know now its good for cracked skin and eczema, thanks to your video...any other ideas? The lutein info was inspirational to me as I am taking lutein capsules as my eyes are very bad. Think I may be switching to tea now so thanks for that! Just seen your update video..hope your pain lessens every day for you both xxx
There has been lot of talks abt marigold can be poison or not edible but it was hard for me to believe. I was confused until I saw ur video and I feel good:) I made a salve already !! Thanks again
Hey Luli, thinking about your family and pray that ya'll are better and doing well. 💐💐 I have a quick question for you. Do you also dry and preserve the Marigold leaves and what do you recommend using it for? I planted some watching your videos and just made a harvest and dried the flower leaves. I did wash mine and dried it with a paper towel, cut the flowers off and then put it in the dryer. Hope to hear from you soon. Best wishes and Happy 4t of July 🙏🇺🇲
Thank you for your thoughts and prayers. I am slowly recovering. Thank you for your question, personally, I don't use marigold leaves. I've heard they can be used just as flower pedals, however, I have never used them. Sorry, I have read that marigold leaves have anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties. Leaf infusion may be used as throat rinse to ssoth sore throat. Sorry, I don't have more information for you.
Hello, thank you for sharing this useful information for us. In the video when you started explaining about not taking marigold from the local park, is there any specific reason for that? You mentioned something about environment but I am not sure what it really was.
Thank you for sharing this! I have lots of Marigolds and I didn't know what to do with them before it starts snowing. My question is, can I use any of the Marigold flowers? I have lots of different colors, I planted them myself from a good seeds company.
This is wonderful!!! Thank you! Do you have a use for sunflower flowers?? The tiny flowers above the seeds. I have so much of them- I heard they can be used for tea but can’t find a preserving video lol
Sunflowers are very medicinal. All parts are useful for different things. The root has been used to support people with kidney stones, smooth muscle relaxant, and bronch/vasodialator. The flower pedals are dried and used in teas ( a little bitter) used as antipyretic ( lowers fevers). Leaves are dried and used in teas as mild diuretic (removes extra fluid by urination). I should do a video about it 👍😀🌞
long time ago l read an article about marigold.it said that it could cure bad legs if you keep them in goat butter; half the amount dried and the other fresh from which later you can make pads and put it on your feet to stop pains.this recipie as they said is taken from a pakistani doctor in britain.
Hi, I live in tropical climate which is very hot and that encourages me to starting to grow marigold instead of calendula. But many say that marigold has toxic. Do you use the herbal tea everyday? Is it okay to drink it everyday? I wonder how to reduce the toxic?
Thanks, very interesting. Can you explain the misinformation out there about tagetes versus calendula? What in your experience is the main difference? I hear tagetes (the kind in your video) is mildly poisonous. I've eaten them and I don't feel it is, but it can upset the stomach. I just made an oil with the tagetes in your video and massages my cat with it, thinking it was the calendula flower. I then read that it is indeed tagetes, and they're not safe for cats! I messaged into my face and I liked the effect it has on my skin. Also, what is anyone's opinion on the smell? Is marigold a good smell? I never thought it was a perfume smell.
I am a bit confused bc in another video it said to keep the green part under the flower, for that contained some of the most important properties. Not knowing which is correct?
U have experience with eating French Marigold leafs raw? I took one bite of leafs raw , and hours later the Marigold pungent taste is in my mouth. I feel hot on inside and chilled shivery on outside ... I feel like this feeling is a allergic reacting ,,, I have Aztec lineage in my DNA ... first time eating raw French Marigold leafs ... now I'm working on my breathing while doing research on this topic, commenting on this video .. any feedback and info is appreciated.. much love
The Marigold taste is in my mouth strong, when I drink water the MaryGold taste immediate infuses with the water .. past hour or so I drank 50+ fluid ounces of spring water and my mouth is dry with light moist ...
There is not much info online on the medicinal qualities of Marigold .. many articles seem to be saying the same basic info ... some articles contradict each other .. I love the plant so much, with passion, i thought I would figure it out myself based on trial ... this plant is to B respected as all plants.
My marigold seed stopped coming up the last few years I have tried different varieties but calendula and zinnias grow fine in my soil. I’m not sure what is keeping them from growing.
@@lulishomestead6767 okay I will try getting new ones. They were all from the same line of seeds I just harvested and used each year on an heirloom plant. I will try new ones next growing season. Thanks!
How do you prevent your house to expose to those bugs I have lots of marigold flowers blooming but unfortunately because of those tiny white bugs in the flowers I couldn’t able to use them for good purpose 😓 Im from india and we do offer marigold, rose, hibiscus to god while worshiping But because of these bugs i cant able to do that either 😫
Yes i am using neem spray treatment every 15 days But they come back in 2 days So now im thinking of using treatment few mins right before harvesting I hope that works 🤞🏻
Thank you for your question. There are several reasons why I don't wash some herbs.. 1. Where i live is frequently rains. I try to harvest on a dry day. They are clean. 2. If there are any bugs, they run away when I leave the flowers on the table for 1-2 hours ( they will not stay on a dead flower). 3. My flowers are tall, they grow about a knee tall, which is high from the ground. Tall flower are clean. 4. Another reason is because I try not to bring more moisture. 5.. If the plans is low to the ground, and looks dusty, the I WASH it.
They are Amazing. I take them for my eyes, and they make a big difference in my eye health. I swear by them
Thank you for sharing
My husband has eye disease so we’re excited to see if these help.
What step or process to use in the eye?

This was most informative well made video I have ever found. Finally. Thank you!
Happy to help .
Thank you :) I am really enjoying your channel and learning so much😊
I'm so glad!
Thanks, awesome. I infuse marigolds with grapeseed oil in the sun. Lasts forever and is great for the skin.
Thank you for sharing
Thank you! I grew some along the border of my garden bed and wanted to see how i could use them! 😍
You are welcome
Thank you for the video! Gonna go collect some бархатцы from my garden right now :)
Good luck!
I’ve learned something new! Have so many in my garden, will harvest for medicinal use 😃 This is exciting 😳
I tried using it instead of saffron in a rice dish, didn't like the flavor.
Lilia, you are a wealth of natural medicinal knowledge 😀
Thanks! I try ...
I put the dry marigolds in my chicken coop. Smells great and keeps insects away
Love that!
In Trinidad we call then Stinking Suzie we boil them fresh and drink them for female cleansing and intestinal issues
Interesting!
Such great information. I can't wait to use them to add color to my rice🏵️
It's not a very strong color, but add flavor.
Thank you I didn’t realize they are medicinal.
Great video! Thanks! I have really dark ones I grew from seed & a bunch volunteered in my garden so I’m going to do this tomorrow!😊🌼
One herbalist taught me that the darker ones are actually better medicinally.
Interesting!
Thanks.
Hi I just found you. Nice to meet you. Love this video. Thank you.❤❤❤
Welcome!
Thanks for sharing.I will do. I grow lots of marigolds.God bless.❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you!
Thank you for the video ! 😀
Happy to share
Hi Luli, thanks for the video. I notice your skin looks wrinkle free and beautiful. I am curious what kind of skin routine you apply if you don't mind me asking.
You are too kind, I have plenty of wrinkles, especially after my fire accident.

When I plant a new plan from store I take a photo of the tag next to location and save to phone photo folder for plants
Harvesting now, thanks!
Nice!
I'm gonna smoke them with lavender, rose buds,peppermint and mullein. ✌🏼
Smoke? Please elaborate
Hopefully a smug for the house?
Are the seeds good to save at this stage, or do the buds need to dry on stem first?!
I haven’t had much success saving their seeds. Maybe because they need to be fully dried on the bush
They need to be fully dried on bush before removing if you want good seeds
Wow thanks 🙏 so much , have learned a lot
🙂
Sun drying is the best way to dry herbs . 🤔🌞
Great video. Question-what temperature do you use on the dehydrator?
Thanks beautiful lady🙏

What carrier oil do you use with Marigolds when you infuse them? Thank U.

The tea is my weaker than the capsules

It's true that carrots are good for vision... I mean I have never seen a bunny with eye glasses. 😅
🤣🤣🤣 carrots have an inactive beta carotene which needs to be converted into retanoids. Animal based vitamin A is more bioavailable

Most parks and public places are usually sprayed with herbicide and pesticides, which are not good for the health of the

No, calendula are a different flower.

Do you use dessicant packs in your jars of marigold blossoms? Thank you!
Thank you for your question. I do not use them, however, it might help to keep any moisture away.
Luli what process to use for the eyes? Thank you
Marygolds can be found in supplements, even drops. I like to add it to my tea mix.
Are the seeds still good to keep even though the flowers have not dried out?
Did you use a dehydrator to dry them? How do you use them in tea? Just add to any tea? Thank you!
Hi, I dehydrate them in the dehydrator and use a small amount in my tea mix.
Thanks, very interesting. Can you explain the misinformation out there about tagetes versus calendula? What in your experience is the main difference?

I made jelly with mine tastes like citrus honey
That sounds amazing
Are the red ones good for this? Or the orange? Thank you!
I like to use all colors, preferably the brighter and richer colors
I put my marigold petals in oil without drying them. Did i waste my petals and oil? Should i throw it away?
Keep an eye on any mold. You may be ok
I am a bit confused bc in another video it said to keep the green part under the flower, for that contained some of the most important properties. Not knowing which is correct?
I always used only the pedals

I feel much better now ... Marigold taste in my mouth tho .. drinking so much water to flush out is the move
I have never eaten leaves. Sorry I don't have any more information about that.
so if people have dehydrator, it is like useless.
Would you use these the same way you would calendula since they are in the same family?
I know calendula is edible, but I've never cooked with calendula, only for herbal uses because I never have enough for cooking.
🙏
My marigold seed stopped coming up the last few years I have tried different varieties but calendula and zinnias grow fine in my soil. I’m not sure what is keeping them from growing.
Bad seeds? One year I had very poor marigold growth as well.
@@lulishomestead6767 okay I will try getting new ones. They were all from the same line of seeds I just harvested and used each year on an heirloom plant. I will try new ones next growing season. Thanks!
Ma'am can I use room heater in place of that machine
Thank you for your question. I am not sure what you mean by "room heater".
@@lulishomestead6767 i use it to keep the room warm during winter
Are these health benefits confused w calendula?
I don’t think so
Isn't there a look alike that isn't safe to eat? Thought Mexican marigolds were the ones Azteca used tho?
I have seen pictures of this flower used in Mexican decoration, so beautiful! I don't know about a lookalikes poisonous flower. What is it?
How do you prevent your house to expose to those bugs
I have lots of marigold flowers blooming but unfortunately because of those tiny white bugs in the flowers I couldn’t able to use them for good purpose 😓
Im from india and we do offer marigold, rose, hibiscus to god while worshiping
But because of these bugs i cant able to do that either 😫
So sad! Have you spayed the flowers with neem oil? The real neem oil?
Yes i am using neem spray treatment every 15 days
But they come back in 2 days
So now im thinking of using treatment few mins right before harvesting
I hope that works 🤞🏻
@Luli’s Homestead thank you mam for quick response 😊
I set many traps, helped a lot.
In India is very hot just before worship put all the flowers in sun for 10/15 mim all bugs will run away
any of the forming seeds would not be any good,,they are not mature
Why do you not recommend washing the flowers first?
Thank you for your question. There are several reasons why I don't wash some herbs..
1. Where i live is frequently rains. I try to harvest on a dry day. They are clean.
